Stain-Resistant: Tops are very user friendly requiring little care and maintenance. Stubborn Stains, Scratch marks and/or Scorches from Heat and can be removed using recommended products.

Repairable at an Affordable Cost: Most 25mm Velstone tops are repairable on-site using Velstone repair kits.

25mm Velstone for HTM 63 Worktops

HTM63, as per its stringent hygiene requirements, needs a continuous surface to prevent dirt and dust to accumulate at seam lines. Typically a standard laminate worktop with square edge banded laminate strip will necessarily show a joint. Post forming grade laminate can be bent down over the edge of the worktop and similarly bent for an integral up stand. There is however a minimum bending radius for post forming grade laminates which necessitates machining a ‘double bull-nose’ to the front edge detail. A half round profile is not possible with laminates because it will still show the joint where it meets the balancing laminate.

25mm Velstone worktops do not have such limitations and a conventional pencil round profile on Velstone will achieve the same objective as set within the HTM 63 specification.

Conventional solid surface top comprises of 12mm~13mm thick sheet bonded onto a MDF substrate. Velstone’s 25mm product is homogenous and does not need any additional support. It’s the single solid content means:

Surfaces meet the criteria and specification (see drawing) of the HTM standard without the need for an additional substrate as is required by conventional solid surfaces

Due to its homogenous structure, 25mm surfaces can be cost effectively machined to HTM 63 specification. which hitherto was unavailable ion solid surface
